There's a little speck out in that Bowl. It's me. There are sweet couloirs off the other side. Wind's blowing straight up this thing. Too easy. |
The rippers were flying off this cliff. Ridiculous. |

Crossing Jenny Lake. |
Gotta love the groomed track to Jenny Lake. |
Sexy Pillows. Ugly Light. Made for interesting skinning. |

A good looking shot dropping into Cascade off Teewinot. |
Recession Ski Fashion Is Alive In Jackson Hole. |
Skinning towards the N Fork of Garnet just above the Meadows... suprisingly decent snow here. |
Checking the N Facing shots into Garnet. Slogging up those would be titty deep these days. |

Looking down from near the top of the spoon. It fans out but stay steep for a while above here. |
Someone slaying the Sliver... note the top crux didn't get hit that day. |
Base camp near snowline on the Skillet. Skied from the summit that day with a great crew. |

South Side of the Grand Teton. The top of the mountain is apparent... lower it's blocked by the Middle and South Tetons in the foreground. What a view! |
A good view of the summit snowfield and Ford Couloir. Lower down the Middle and South Tetons are blocking the view of the Grand's lower flanks. |
The Pyramid (Left) and Rendezvous Peak (Right). Lots of great skiing to be had around here... |
South Side of the Pyramid. Cliffy ridges and terrain trap chutes. Be careful! |
Baggadonutz coming out of an Unnamed Couloir just East of the Spoon. We had to rappel twice... garbage snow. A good learning experience. |
The Arch is only one of several great lines on Pandora's Box. |
Some bum about halfway down the Sliver. What a gorgeous line! |
Facials available if you stop hard enough... |
Pull the trigger... |
... and smash the skinner. |
Jackasses parked in the highway on Teton Pass. They big yellow WYDOT truck does not look pleased. Don't spoil it for the rest of us! |
Wolf hair in the skin track. It looks like he was chewing off a dingleberry. |

Typical pre-season dog party at Grand Targhee. No dogs allowed when the resort is open but they're pretty cool with dogs there otherwise... |
Watch out for the wolf right behind you! |
Good snow today at Targhee... |
One of those powder flat spin tricks kinda getting out of hand... |
Knuckle dragging... |
More of the same... |
Two Oceans from the Highway 11/19/2012.... not the tallest mountain, but lots of good lines... |
NE Face of Two Oceans 11/19/2012... tempting but still needs more coverage. |
Radio Tower Couloir across the highway still needs a lot more coverage (South Facing) |

Teton Range from Jackson Hole 11/19/2012... soon it will be skiable top to bottom, but not quite yet. |
Spray planes over Jackson Hole. Study the sky where you live and see for yourself. |
Gotta love the views on the ascent of Taylor Mountain... |
High haze during high pressure. A telltale sign of Geoengineering taking place in the sky where you live. |
Photographic evidence of Geoengineering over Jackson Hole. |
Current snow conditions looking up the Claw and unnatural looking high hazy clouds in the sky overhead. |

To point em' or not to point em'... a consequential question alone in the middle of nowhere. |
All smiles atop Shadow, as usual. |
It's finally full on winter on Teton Pass. Check out the coverage on the road cuts above the road. Photo taken from Chivers Ridge looking N to Mount Glory. |
South side of Teewinot from Shadow... no slide activity. |
South side of Grand from Shadow... no slide activity visible aside from an unusual line near the Teepe Pillar... could be a ski track or a crown... not sure. |
Pretty windfucked on most (maybe all) aspects up high right now. We tried to ski the Sliver but it was crusty sastrugi with gusty 30-40mph winds blowing straight down the chute... no thanks! |
Dropping into the Tomahawk... sluffy! |
Spit out of the Tomahawk... sluffy! |
Tetons just after sunrise... always a good time. |
How the heck do these little bugs roam around on the snow when it has been below zero for the last three-four days?! |
Dark side of 25 Short... serious terrain! |
At the top of this chute there is a dogs head. That dog refused to drop in, so we had to skin up 1500' and then bootpack the chute to get her. Not my dog, but was my problem. Good day though... |
gotta love skiing with a fun pooch! |
Snow beast post facials... |
Free refills all day on Teton Pass. |
Glory sunsets... they never get old! |
Typical Jacksonites... |
Note the five dots standing at the base of this shot while two dots climb up it. Mind you there's at least a few feet of fresh windslabbed pow sitting in that couloir. Not the smartest planning. In a group this size it would be smarter to send the fastest hikers up first while the rest of the group waited for their return close but out of harms way... preferably with a decent angle to get pics of the descent. |
Funky and beautiful snow down low... |
Why hello there! |

Maestra really knows how to kick up a spray... |
Avy crown on the SE face of Rendezvous Peak. There were a few tracks in the area, but the slide did not appear to be skier triggered. |
Slide is pretty much dead center below the largest rock buttress of Rendezvous Peak. |

Obvious GeoEngineering over Jackson Hole today. I saw this trail shortly after it was sprayed. Obvious start and stop to this chem cloud at a time when none of the other planes I witnessed left persistent trails. As I drove home from skiing I saw it spreading and refracting sunlight in a strange way, so I took this picture. |
chemtrails over the tetons... an all too common sight these days. |
Bill. |
Bartelby. |
Teewinot. Lots of tracks on the central tree-topped Apex. Only three tracks on the entire NE flanks so I headed that way. |
The pillows dropping down to Jenny Lake are a lot of fun right now. Watch out for bare spots though where warm water/air below has completely obliterated the snowpack. |
Looking N from near treeline on the NE Ridge of Teewinot. |
|
Sweet, sweet sugary pow. Fun for now but definitely rotten and not the ideal base for future snowfall to rest upon. |
Spooky Face on Nex Perce with a spooky ass line in the sky over it. Stratospheric aerosol geoengineering is an unfortunate reality. I have taken it upon myself to learn as much about it as I can and to help stop it. |
N side of Buck with an obvious stratospheric aerosol geoengineering chemtrail overhead. Normal contrails do not droop bulbous billowing globs shortly after exiting the ass end of airplanes. This is a telltale sign that there is more than water vapor present in a particular trail. |
LOG JAMMIN' Chute looking into the log jammed choke... I have plans for this thing. |
Untouched sugary pow. N aspects are skiing great from ~9500' to the valley floor despite the lack of new snow. Get some. |
There is still PLENTY of great sugary fresh to ski within day trip striking distance of the BTL parking lot in GTNP. NNE aspects below 9500' are skiing great. Do a few laps and make a day of it. |
The gang is all here. Suprisingly, the crowd thinned out in the afternoon and it was free refills... even the bootpack was totally blown in. |
KTP. |
Classic Vermont topper at the top of Glory. Digging those windows. |
Edelweiss catching a few rays. Photo from the top of Shivers. Good light later in the day 2day. |
Just uploading this because I need it for a gear review I'm working on. Comparing the Surface Life Free 191 with the Black Diamond Megawatt 188. Both are good skis, but which is better?! |
Funky wind drifts down the NE aspect of the SE Ridge of Glory Bowl. These ocean-swell-looking drifts continued down the upper half of the bowl. Pretty neat to look at, but I wouldn't want to ski them. Glad to see that no one was dumb enough to drop into the gut of Glory Bowl today. |
Shortly after this photo was taken this Raven ate a piece of gum. Don't spit your gum out! Better yet, don't chew gum as practically all brands/flavors contain TOXIC aspartame. |
A little preening... |
Totally destroyed skin track for much of the ascent due to heavy traffic back down the E Ridge... it's a little bit ridiculous when you can't even ascertain where the skintrack initially was. Please don't blow out the skin tracks as that makes things difficult for subsequent groups, especially when it's warm/sunny and your tracks turn into crusty shite. Thanks! |
The Regal McGruber post ascent... |
Lookin' pretty good and untracked up here... |
Stoked for some guaranteed good turns. |
The essence of dingleberries. |
Evening geo-engineering spotted during the drive back to TOJ. |
Funky colors in this low, linear "cloud". I'm not exactly sure what that is, and you probably shouldn't be sure about it either... cuz you really don't know. |
Sun dog (or is it a chem dog?!) captured Feb, 10th 2013 from The Pyramid, JH. |
Avy crown on the SE aspect of the NE Ridge of the Pyramid. Feb, 10 2013. Small slide with a variable crown from 2" to 2' height that propagated ~200 feet and ran ~300 yards down the E Face of the peak. Did not appear to be skier triggered but the result of heavy windloading from NW winds depositing snow on the SE side of the NE Ridge of Pyramid. |
Some of the debris did not travel far, but most of it did. This is the debris that did only slid a few feet from the starting zone. |
Debris pile on the Pyramid. We poked around in it a bit but picked up no signals from a transceiver. The slide ran ~300 yards and did not appear to have a very deep debris pile. Much of the debris did not travel the full ~300 yards. |
An important quote from a great book. Be safe out there. Peace. |
Tug of War in the Glory Hut. |
Definitely crowded on account of the brutal winds outside. Drooling dogs playing tug of war made for a funny scene as Mar tried to enter the hut. |
Dumping! Just in time, too... S-E facing stuff was sunhammered. |
Yesterday (March 5th) was a heavy spray day over Jackson Hole. |
